Figs. 2, 3

and l. il'hen the tumbler is'in position, the cylindrical rear ond of the slide 19, iseapeole agemeut with the forward end of the S, the tumbler is wall of its slot, the sprin r st agaii t the rear wall rinst the oivot as shown llfti, lner l lie ti' pivoted i the shell, but is ceiiied by tile t er, the stud 17 of l 1 the tumbler being made LU pa e through tno opening 12 near the inner end of the trigger, thus lorming u pivot therefor. The trigger is so placed that the Uextensiou 13, is made to face he hammer, and the jaw 15 of the tumbler has movement Within the Riercteneionv and acts in conjunction with the rear mem -Jeroftheeaid lj-exle eion, thatmemhcr constituting, the opposingjaw.

The spril'ig E, is secured in the handle section of the pistol and has such hearing against the rear portion of the hammer above its pivot that the epriug tends to force the hammer against the anvil Provision may he made for holding single cap upon the anvil. to he Struck by the hammer; but preferably tape ot caps i is located in the handlechamber, and the said tape is carried upward around the pi t 2:? of the hammer and between the jaw of the trigger and the opposing jaw 15 of the tumbler, and thence upward to an engugcment with the anvil. Hy sliding the eemoi handle section B away from the handle sec tion B, clips may be readily introduced into the handle chamber.

Eli oshown in Fig. 2, the tumbler Will he carrier downward and its slide 19 will the Ward end of the hammer linger and w springheneath the lower surface of said linger. At the same time the grip of the of the tumbler and jaw of the trigger will he loosened upon the tape and wlllelide down the same, but will engage with. the tape the moment that the slide of the tumbler has passed to an engagement with the lower our face of the finger of the hammer, since All ti 2: t time the trigger will be in such )ositiou as to normally force its jaw against the jaw of the tumbler. By pulling the trigger toward the handle, as shown in Fig. 3, the tape will he carried upward to amengagoment with the anvil 2i, and the slide of the tumbler will, by exerting upward pressure u poll the finger of the hammer, carry the hammer e! firing position, and at the time that t trigger has suhsoutially engaged v in the handle, the slide of the tumbler will. hare been disengaged from the linger of the hu mer to such an extent as to permit the limomor Spring E to act and force the ham oer against the cap, exploding; the same. Thus: by the inward and outward movement of the trigger a rapid and cout'uuous tiring may he obtained, at each eoznplete inward and outward movement aeap is fed in position to foo fired and the hammer is raised dropped. It will be noticed that the grip oi this jaw feed is maintained upon the tape or ribbon until after the tell of the hammer, whereby the tape or ribbon is absolutely tected from any possible injury roe; from theexplosion of the cap being fireo, and no fire can run baclr along the ribbon farther than the jaws.
